This week on MATM, Mike and Jim dive headfirst into the world of cinematic sound, THX trailers that rattled your ribcage, and the surprisingly tangled hyperspace lanes connecting Lucasfilm, Star Wars, film edits, and somehow... Seth Rogen.

In conjunction with the Downers Grove Historical Society, Jim is premiering a new documentary exploring the life and contributions of Tomlinson Holman, the legendary audio pioneer behind THX. As part of Lucasfilm, THX became the gold standard for theatrical and home audio throughout the 1990s, permanently reshaping how audiences experience movies both in theatres and at home. If you’ve ever felt your seat tremble before a movie even started, you’ve already met Tomlinson Holman’s legacy.

The documentary premieres Tuesday, 4/29 at 7PM CST at the Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove.
